And keeping the 134 million from sneaking in.
International organizations are exempt from the ban. However, I'm assuming Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaida, and Muslim Brotherhood and others - although lightly considered "international organizations" (NGOs or INGOs?) - would also be banned under this EO. Just saying - this could become a nitpicking argument for some liberals.
Epic first moves.
It’s a good start.
It is 8% of Muslims in the world. I would say that’s a big number.
By the way, I support this measure. It is temporary until we can get extreme vetting in place.
they say it like it's a bad thing...
” I’m sad that we can’t take in 134,000,000 people. “
First off, think of the chaos if we actually tried to absorb 134 million people... That is not the point CNN is making though.
CNN is saying that 134,000,000 people can’t come in as students, tourists, businessmen or for any other temporary purpose. That is sad for them, and in fact most of them don’t pose a threat to the US - we just have to be careful about the minority that do pose a threat. However, we’re also only talking 1.8% of the world population (and mostly from poorer countries) so the impact on the economy etc. will be minimal.
The one thing I don’t understand is why travel wasn’t also banned from Saudi Arabia, given that it is a hotbed of Islamist propaganda and hatred.
Anyone have that pic of Kek happily sipping tea as the angry Muslims look through the holes of a fence?
Let Somalia fix Somalia.
Time for the Trump administration to go on the offensive to publically ask the media/rats if they want the border open or abolished? Should we follow the law or not? Should EVERYONE who wants to come to the US be allowed to do so? Make them put their cards on the table adn let people see their intentions.
Exactly. They all want to come to a racist, bigoted country.
No kidding. They can sure come up with the numbers that suit them.......
You mean he stopped 139 million unidentified muslims from invading the USA? Winning!!!
CNN, their hair is on fire!
Love the smell of burning progressives hair in the morning.
Votes matter.
And this is a bad thing why?
Isn't this stealing jobs from American women -- or is this work that American women don't want to do?
How many Christians are banned from Mecca? I thought so.
It is a start. I’m still waiting for the promised cancellation of Obama’s amnesty. Where is that? Those millions are already here. Lets get started removing them too.
I’m sure the great humanitarian nations of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran will step up and eagerly welcome the Muslim “refugees” turned away by the US.
Absolutely! Anyone from an Islamic country, unless they are a persecuted minority (e.g., Christian). No one from Mexico. And return all non-citizens and illegals already in the country from those same areas. All of them.
OH! the humanity. OH! the votes.
